Startup Weekend North Lebanon – Ag | Food | Water Innovation

Your Ag | Food | Water Startup Idea In 54 Hours

 

Experts predict that we will need to double global food production over the next 35 years while land, energy and water resources are being quickly depleted. In Lebanon, water demand is rapidly increasing, while only 8% of wastewater is treated. The world is looking for innovative solutions to sustainability challenges in the agriculture, food and water sectors!

 

Do you have an idea related to agriculture, food or water you’d like to pursue or a problem you’d like to solve but don’t know where to start or who to start with?

 

Does your idea improve a process across the food value chain? Does it innovate in the agriculture sector from farm to fork?

 

Does it solve sustainability challenges of sanitation management and water usage in irrigation, and human consumption?

Check out the previous edition of Startup Weekend Ag | Food | Water Innovation in Bekaa! We had a great time!

 

“I dont know if this is the end of this project or the beginning of a great journey ahead. However, I must admit that all the credit goes to the mentors who ensured to move our idea from vague and idealistic to concrete and realistic. It was a very fruitful and challenging experience, it forced us to push our limits and think outside the box.” 

Danielle Monsef, BOOSTani, First Prize Winner at Startup Weekend Bekaa

 

“The fact that you have to spend 2 days with strangers working on new ideas is by itself amazing. The mentors really helped us shape our idea and pitch it in a professional way. The strangers that I started working with at the beginning of the Startup Weekend became my best friends at the end of it, and I believe that was my favorite part of the whole experience.” 

Omar El Maadarani. Second Prize Winner of Startup Weekend Bekaa
